    If you can't find the bin file...
    If the tv won't turn on and you suspect the eeprom, Unplug the tv, Freeze the eeprom with cold spray, plug in the tv and try turning it on. If that works you can likely recover the eeprom data by removing the eeprom, place it in the programer, freeze the ic, and read it, the program a new ic.
    You could also just try reading the eeprom, then freeze it and see if the data changes, if it does use the copy after the freeze to progam a new ic.
    Also checking shopjimmy, there are 9 different eeproms for different main boards for this same model

      Hi
      Looking around for using freeze spray on EEPROM/BIOS there isn't much info.
      Can you tell if the freezing chip to -50 celsius will help me get a clean dump, or it will only improve readings but there will be still some mismatches with the original content? Also, would it introduce the risk of some data incorrectly read due to low temperature even if managed to get multiple identical dumps?
      The chip got damaged on VCC there is only 13ohm to GND, other pins appear to be fine.
      So far i played with separate power supply for the chip and programmer, using level shifter, tried soaking the chip into isopropyl.
      Normally there would be about 5KB differences between dumps, with VCC to chip dropping to 2.8V the amount of differences reduced to ~1500bytes and with using level shifter + chip in isopropyl in combination with the VCC mod best i could get was 1140bytes difference.

        Notice to users of XGecu TL866II Plus / T48 / T56 / T76 programmers regarding BIOS backup file size
        by m1ch43lzm
        Hi everyone
        I noticed on the Xgpro software the BIOS backup files have extra bytes at the end when reading some chips, this is because the Xgpro software also reads the OTP region of those flash chips, and by default will append that region to the saved file
        Programmer models: XGecu TL866II Plus / T48 / T56 / T76

        Example: GD25LQ128D (1.8V), IC size is listed as 0x1000000 Bytes (16777216 bytes) + 0xC00 bytes, those extra 0xC00 bytes will be appended to the end of the saved file by default, resulting in a file size of 16780288 bytes
        There's also an extra OTP Secu.R...

        by my2k2
        Good day to every one,

        I have AVR 171 the IC1504 (24C32) eeprom is corrupted not able to read.
        Does anybody have an eeprom dump file? I really appreciate any help.
        Thanks in advance.

        Lenovo ThinkStation P520 BIOS file needed
        by Forest79
        Hello,

        I got a Lenovo ThinkStation P520 (Type 30BF) from a friend, asking me for a repair. Windows 11 offered a firmware upgrade as an optional update, and it failed.
        The emergency flash procedure from the hardware manual has also failed. So, I asked an acquaintance with better skills to flash the BIOS directly.

        However, the chip (a Macronix MX25L25673GMI-08G) has a size of 32 MB, and the BIOS file from the Lenovo website (extracted with UEFITool) has a little more than 16 MB. Thus, the software my acquaintance used (SiberiaProg v1.45, with a CH341A Programmer)...

        NT955XED (Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro - 15.6) BIOS dump file Request
        by Citymin
        Hi all,

        My Samsung Galaxy Book 2 Pro 15.6-inch laptop has no display and won't boot.
        The charging red LED lights up, but the charging screen doesn't show any indication.
        When I press the power button, the blue LED cycles on and off three times, then the screen doesn't turn on, and the device won't boot.
        (I've tried removing the battery and resetting the device, but the issue persists.)

        NoteBook Model name : Samsung NT955XED-KK51G(Galaxy book2 pro, i5-1240p, 15.6inch AMOLED)
        PCB model name : Venus2-15-5G(REV1.2), Venus2-15 ADL NPC

        .FD BIOS file for AN515-56
        by elmoori
        I’m trying to recover my Acer Nitro 5 AN515-56, which currently has a corrupted BIOS and won’t boot. I’ve searched Acer’s website and all I can find is the official BIOS update .exe file.

        Inside that .exe, I managed to extract a file called abobios.bin, but there is no .FD file available — the one needed for Acer Crisis Recovery.

        I’m looking for someone who has the original .FD BIOS file for this exact model, or any guidance on how to extract it safely from the official update.
